62 On some Coccide from the Island of Antigua. 
Claw curved, digitules of claw extremely large and stout, 
extending considerably beyond claw. ‘Tarsal digitules fili- 
form, with small knobs. 
Antenne §&-jointed, tapering; joint 3 longest, much 
longer than 2 or 4; 2 subequal with 4 or a little longer; 5 
shorter than 4; 6 and 7 equal and shorter than 5; 8 about 
or hardly as long as 4. 
Anal plates triangular, the outer sides subequal; hind ends 
rounded, and bearing four short bristles. 
Derm colourless, with extremely large but indistinct round 
gland-pits. 
On the tuberous roots of the batata or sweet potato (Jpo- 
mca batatas), Feb. 25, 1893. 
The discovery of a Lecandum in such a situation as this 
was quite unexpected. The species has a general resem- 
blance to LZ. terminalie in shape and size, but does not seem 
to be very closely allied to any described form. 
(5) Chionaspis minor, Maskell. 
In great quantity on twigs of Hibiscus; Clare Hall, and 
from Dr. Freeland. 
(6) Chionaspis citri, Comstock. 
It is unfortunate that this species, so destructive to Cvtrus- 
trees, has reached Antigua. 
(7) Parlatoria Pergandet, Comstock, 
var. crotonis, V. nov. 
?. Scale white or brownish, second skin pale reddish 
brown, suffused with black in the middle. @ insect prac- 
tically as in Perganded; a Jamaican specimen shows the 
grouped glands present, caudolaterals 5, cephalolaterals 6. 
On Croton (Dr. Freeland). I also found it on Croton in 
Jamaica, at Kingston. It does not seem to live at all on 
Citrus, the food-plant of typical Perganded; the latter has 
not been found in Antigua or Jamaica. 
(8) Aspidiotus rapax, Comstock. 
On cones of Casuarina. Many specimens show parasite- 
holes.
